Azara lanceolata (lanceleaf azara; "corcolen", "aromo" in Spanish) is a species of flowering plant in the family Salicaceae (it was previously categorized as Flacourtiaceae). It has been named after its lance-shaped, serrated, glossy, bright green leaves. It is an evergreen shrub, growing to a height of 3–5 meters. It is found on both sides of the Andes mountains, in the south of Argentina and Chile. [1]
Its flowers that bloom in either late winter or early spring are known for having a strong smell, which some people say smells like vanilla. [1] [2]
